What entitled nonsense... Apparently school can't be cancelled because parents might actually have to... OMG... BE PARENTS!
I was reading an article in the Baltimore Sun today. It was about snow and snowdays, etc. And it contained a lot of griping parents complaining about their kids having snowdays and being "stuck at home with them". Well, guess what, folks, you had kids. OF COURSE snowdays are a possibility. When you kids, sometimes they're going to be off. What do these people do in the Summer? It really pisses me off to read about parents whining about having kids and having to actually be responsible for them for once. I have friends with kids. Guess what? They don't complain about their kids being off. They make the most of it and accept that it's always a possibility. These entitlement the parents in this article have reminds me of why I don't like most parents to begin with.
"Its pretty rough, really," said Lynn Bartolotta of Ellicott City, whose four children have been home - romping in the snow, bickering and occasionally crying - since Friday. Bartolotta was out from work with a case of laryngitis Monday and, as she watched her husband drive off to work, realized she would be alone with four kids and no voice.
The children have been enjoying the snow, but Bartolotta said she needs to quickly plan some day trips for next week. "When the snow is gone, we're going to be in big trouble," she said.
After four days, a mere fraction of the 15-day break coming to most area children, some little hands have already made mischief.
While waiting for a prescription at a Giant supermarket in Columbia on Tuesday afternoon, Sharon Shomette suddenly discovered that her 5-year-old daughter Cami's eyelashes had been snipped with a pair of scissors.
While Cami and Claudia, 6, protested their innocence, Shomette shook her head over the school system's decision to stay closed. "I think it's crazy" to cancel classes today, she said. "They're home cutting each other's eyelashes off."
"Our school is a walking school," Shomette said of Stevens Forest Elementary in Oakland Mills. "I'm out there driving my kids around on the roads. They're driving me crazy," she said, shooing Cami away from a beeping blood-pressure machine in which the girl had inserted an arm.
Lynn Bartolotta? I don't feel sorry for her at all. She chose to have four kids. So guess what, the possibility of getting stuck at home with them at some point should've crossed her mind before she had them. Do these people never think of this crap?
And what the fuck is with kids cutting each-other's eyelashes? Does this mother have no control over them? Sure sounds that way with the whole "blood pressure machine" debacle, too. How do these kids not kill one another all summer long?
Snow Days: They happen. If you're going to have kids and live in a place that it snows, accept it or SHUT THE FUCK UP. Things happen. Don't be a parent if you're not ready to accept all that comes with it.
